    My main working computer is a cobbled up, taped together AMD. On Drive 1 I have DrubXP and PCLinuxOS.
    I have a second, spare hard drive that may yet see use as a doorstop but for now has another DrubXP install.

    I shrunkted the partition on drive 2 and installed our favorite GoboFriend on the 10 Gig Extended partition I then created.

    I cannot get rid of PCLOS just yet but I cannot get Grub on hda to recognize any system on hdb.
    Any ideas ( I don't care about recognizing XP on Drive 2. All I need is to get Gobo Going until I can move it to Drive 1)?

    PS: For anyone who is using an old ATI (Mine is an A-I-Wonder, 2006 ed.) and cannot get the 14.1 Live CD to work: Stand by while the CD boots and when you see the "Looking for X..." screen ("Press esc to cancel"), go ahead and press "esc" and cancel the probe. You'll be greeted with more snow than an old Philco in the country but it will eventually clear and you'll get goin'.

    Same here on my Pentium 4.
    I'm going to see if the partition manager sees Drive 2.
    The Drive Selector is in the upper right of the partition manager display.

    Swap On Drive 2

    Putting the swap file on drive 2 puts it on a second channel for SPEED.
    I put Windows Swap on D:\ .
    Setting a minimum file size for Gobo Linux files would be good.
    Gobo has way smaller footprint on my street fighter computer.
